oh, i'm the type of girl that likes to roam around ... ?

so way back a couple of weeks ago i had an interview/tryout at a little inn as housekeeping staff. basically the head housekeeper took me around a room and showed me how they clean it, then had me do a room by myself. so i found out the other day that i get paid for that, cos i was kind of technically working for them. so i got my check this afternoon. only 12.75, but heck, any money's good right now. in the bank it went, and then i was going to use it to go pick up some stuff that i needed. so i'm waiting to cross a street, and this guy with wonky teeth comes up to me.

guy: are you going this way?me: yes i am.guy: i'm going to tim horton's. [waves a fistful of coinage at me] where are you going?me: i don't really know where i'm going. [meaning, "i haven't made up my mind where i'm going to pick up the stuff i need."]guy: you mean like you're a wanderer?me: [chuckling to myself] i guess you could say that.guy: it's funny how people don't know where they're going. wanderer is my word for people who don't know where they're going.me: it's a good word. [cycles off as the light changes]
